Read the following text to answer questions 23 to 26.
Five days ago, I got a telephone call from my supervisor, Mr. Wahyudi. He congratulated me on
my success in increasing the sales target in August 2004. I have been working under his
supervision in the area of Pasuruan for three years. He invited me to come to his office. On the
phone he said that he needed to discuss the prospect of the company in the future. He planned to
expand his business to other towns in East Java.
Yesterday I was very happy because I could come to see Mr. Wahyudi. As I arrived at his office,
located at 12 Jalan Peneleh Masjid Surabaya, I was warmly greeted by him. He asked me what
drink I would like. I answered, “I like tea.” He asked the office boy to make it for me. He
showed me the table of the sales and he said, “It’s your duty to expand our business in the area of
Probolinggo. Then I read the table of my own sales which is much better than any other area’s
sales except that of Surabaya. I smiled happily to see my successful work. “I begin to have a lot
of self-confidence.” I thought, as a young salesman I said to myself, “Business is my world and it
is really true that my grandfather once said that I had a talent of selling things.” Here is the table
of the sales in August.
The sales of Magazines and Tabloids of “Bina Pustaka Distributor” in August 2004

Read the following text to answer questions 27 to 30.
With a daughter off at college, Barton and his wife earlier this year liquidated their two
major assets. They sold their dying business in San Jose, California, for a few hundred thousand
dollars and their 170-square-meter house for somewhat more. They pocketed about $1 million.
Not bad for a couple in their early forties, with one kid at Ohio State University. Then again, not
too terrific when you live in the cosmically overpriced San Francisco Bay Area. What do you do
next?
Barton’s dying business was called American Machinist Supply. The 20-employee
company brokered custom-tooling for factory mills and lathes. It was a nice little business, for a
time. Then the economics that fueled it stopped working in California. During the tech boom of
the late-1990s, Barton watched his rent triple to $300 per square meter a year. His employees
could no longer afford to live in the Bay Area. Morale sank. Turnover soared.
Barton thought about relocating to San Diego, where rent and mortgage loans would go
twice as far. Not enough. His wife suggested moving east. He learned that rent and mortgage
would go five times further in Charlotte, North Carolina; Columbus, Ohio; and State College,
Pennsylvania. He walked into each city’s Chamber of Commerce. Within 24 hours, State College
found Barton office space in a research park sponsored by Penn State. That settled it.
Here’s Barton deal in a nutshell: He sank $500,000 – half his net worth – into
Blueswart.com, his new company. The university offered him a no-interest loan of $125,000,
payable in three years, and cheap rent. Barton, in turn, pledged to hire graduates of Penn State.
He’ll need those engineers, too. Blueswart.com is high tech all the way. It harnesses the web to
automate the old American Machinist Supply way of doing business that required 20 brokers on
the phone. Clever software helps Blueswart.com’s customers crank up factory output by
configuring mills and lathes with the best combination of tooling.
28. Barton had to relocate his business to Penn State because ....
a. Penn State graduated better college students
b. the rent and cost of living in San Jose were high
c. his wife had a daughter at Ohio State University
d. his net was worth about $1 million
e. Penn State offered a no-interest loan
